So after a year, I decided to start up my OT server again for the summer.
Unfortunately, after many attempts, I was not able to get the website to work.

When I use the global IP to go to the website, it leads me to my router configuration
I got my server up and running, now I need my website to work!

All of my ports are open and forwarded (7171, 7172, 8000, 3306) Website is accessible through localhost.
Can't figure out the problem :huh:

Thanks,
Nightmare
 
Because most routers can't do the conversion to access your website with the external address while its on the local network.
Get someone else to try it, he should be able to see it correctly (if he also gets your router config you have a serious security issue there)
 
If you don't want ask anyone, if page is online, visit page:
Find out your IP Address - IP Security Portal
Paste your IP in form >> and press 'show anonymously'. It will show screenshot from PC with IE7 that open your site :)


If you visit site of your router on IP like:
http://192.168.1.1
it mean that IT IS ON PORT 80, so it cannot forward port 80 to your PC. It show it is, but it isn't.
Good routers got in options something like 'WebPort', 'AdminPort' and there is '80' and you can change it to for example 60. Then on port 80 will be your PC website, but to visit your router website you must use then:
http://192.168.1.1:60
(port 60)
 
I know the reason, disable your firewall (Antivirus firewall too + windows) and then try to connect it works, (and It works for me too, and when I enable the firewall I cannot access through the whatismyip.com IP)

but on LOCALHOST, you can access through it even if firewall is enabled.
